Mackqeez ran a cracking race in a Group 2 here in September when only 4l behind Japan. A repeat would see him difficult to beat while Hazran was staying on over a mile here in November and is certain to appreciate stepping up. JACK YEATS reappeared after a long break over a mile at Leopardstown where he attempted to make all. He was caught close home but with that under his belt he can go one better. Halimi will have come on markedly for his run over the course and distance while Inflection Point didn't get the run of the race at Navan or would have finished closer.
